SAPIENS: A Podcast for Everything Human
Science:Social Sciences
From space junk and the International Space Station to Elon Musk and SpaceX, space is becoming a more human place. What will it mean for us to live among the stars? SAPIENS host Jen Shannon probes the nascent field of space archaeology and looks to the mystery of exoplanets for answers.

Together, they lead the International Space Station Archaeology Project. Lisa Messeri is assistant professor of anthropology at Yale University and the author of Placing Outer Space: An Earthly Ethnography of Other Worlds.
